Curious results for me.

Using the BlackDeath track my lower spec laptop with low settings has improved a lot, fps around 30-40%. I found with my laptop (ATI 5850 1Gb) that the Logo made a difference and taking it off increased my new average fps of about 120% to 140%. My High end Gaming PC (see sig) has suffered about a 13-15% fps drop.

On line with the Gaming PC I get much more stuttering when scanning over Ramsgate with TrackIR althiugh my fps at a few thousand feet or more are pretty much banging the refresh rate of 60Hz although inclined to drop more readily in and out of the 40s with action and nearby aircraft.

The Spifire MkIa is too slow as sea level (no time to check yet at altitude) and gives 248mph instead of 284mph, a whopping 36mph too slow.

The Spitfire MkIIa gives 270mph instead of 290mph, 20mph too slow.

The Huricane MkII gives 234mph instead of 262mph, nearly 30mph too slow.

The Spitfire throttle seems insanely sensitive requirong about 10% movement to get from minus 4 to 0lb boost and hitting a full 6lbs boost by about 2/3 throttle travel.Also the brakes don't seem to be very effective now and if you aren't careful to keep the throttle completely closed you will roll with them on when you start the engine.

I've attached some results in case they're of use to anyone (settings etc). Results like fps during Bomb Bursts were the absolute minimum noticed and generally a fair bit better on average.
